Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 121 - 121: Cardigan Particles


From what Lucifer felt, clothes were the biggest problems. Two things were constantly targeted when he was in battles. 

The first one was his clothes which never came out intact after battles. Most of the time, let alone coming intact, his clothes could entirely get ruined and disappear, leaving him completely naked. 

The second target was his hand which he had lost twice already. He didn't have to worry about his hands since they could just grow back again. 

But it was an entirely different story when it was about his clothes since they couldn't grow back out of thin air as if the battle didn't happen.

"Oh, believe me when I say this, but this is the most technologically advanced pants, which I believe is most useful for you after those gloves," Henny said, grinning from ear to ear. There was a hint of pride in his voice.

He turned back and walked over to the table, picking up a remote, which he pointed towards the TV that was located just a few meters away from their current spot. 

At the press of a button, the TV turned on and started showing a presentation. Everyone averted their gaze to the TV screen, their eyes filled with intrigue and amusement.

"God, were you waiting with your presentation for this moment? I can't believe it," Caen commented as he rolled his eyes. 

He couldn't believe that Henny had even prepared a presentation for this. Isona also shook her head, watching Henny helplessly.

"Hey, such things need to be told the way they could be understood," Henny replied as he laughed. 

As everyone watched the screen, they saw a video. There was no audio or any sound that could be heard coming out of the TV. But for that, Henny was there to give commentary, explaining the things they were seeing in the video itself.

"What you see on the screen is the composition Cardinal Particles. We created those ourselves. Too bad we can't show it off to the world. So I feel like this is the right place to show off," Henny said to them as an introductory word. 

"The pants that Lucifer is holding right now... is the first thing we made using the Cardigan Particles. I'm sure we'll make more in the future," he explained. 

The footage on the TV changed, showing the pants flying in the sky in the form of cartoon Avatar. A ball of fire was flying towards the pants. As soon as the ball hit the pants, that ball disappeared. 

"Really? We now have cartoon animations too?" 

Caen had the urge to facepalm himself after seeing the childish presentation made by Henny. He knew that they had a kid in their midst but to use cartoons in this serious place, did he lose his mind? 

"The Cardigan Particles are a special discovery of ours. With this, we can improve all the battle gear. As for the specialty, it is indestructible. As long as the attack is within its limit, it will absorb the attack without even a single scratch," Henny described, his voice filled with pride and confidence.

"Hmm, so what if the attack is outside its limit? What will happen?" Dion inquired curiously. 

"If the attack is outside its limit, then the cardigan particles will disperse, acting invisible for a certain span of time. Instead of being destroyed, they will let the attack pass through them. Thus, the clothes will never be destroyed," Henny answered. 

"Really? So if there's a strong attack that's outside its limit, the clothes won't provide any protection and let the attack hit the wearer so these could not be destroyed?" Caen asked exasperatedly as he raised both his hands in disbelief. 

"That's right. The wearer might die and disappear, but the cardigan particles and the clothes will still be there. But don't worry, for the attack to be outside its defense limit, the attack needs to be really strong," Henny replied. 

"I get it. So that's why you said it's more useful for Lucifer. The biggest problem he had was his clothes being destroyed. You just found a breakthrough!"

"This discovery of yours was the solution for Lucifer's main concern. You're pretty lucky to find a person that needs indestructible clothes even if his body is destroyed," Isona said as she understood the use. 

If the attack were within the limit, the pants wouldn't be destroyed. And if it were outside the limit, it would save itself while letting Lucifer be hit. Lucifer could heal himself, so this wasn't dangerous. 

"Even if the attack is outside the limit, it does not mean that the pants won't protect the user. It will decrease the impact of the attack as much as it can and only let it pass when it's too much to handle," Henny replied. 

After explaining everything, Henny turned to Lucifer and said, "Alright. Lucifer, wear the pants. Complete your battle gear look. Let me see how you look."

"Everyone, turn around! Give our guest some privacy to change clothes!" he called out before turning around to avoid looking in Lucifer's direction. 

The others also followed suit as they turned around as well. 

When noone was was looking, Lucifer removed the old pants he was wearing and donned the pitch-black pants that were made of Cardigan Particles. 

Through the touch, thickness, and weight, he found no difference between the new pants and the old ones. He was even a bit suspicious whether what Henny said was actually the truth or not. 

To test it, he decided to do something stupid. His suspicion was getting big here on the pants. 

He placed his finger a few inches away from the pants and fired a lightning bolt at his legs while everyone was still looking back. They were wondering if Lucifer was already done changing his pants or not. 

At worst, he was going to get a hole in his leg, which would heal within minutes, so he didn't mind testing. 

As the lightning bolt left his finger, it hit the fabric of the pants and disappeared. It was unclear where it went, but nothing happened to the pants, and he wasn't harmed either. 

He had intentionally made the lightning bolt the weakest to see the defensive properties of the pants. Now that he had seen it, he decided to check and test whether his strongest attack was strong enough to make a mark and cross its limit or not. 

This time, he had decided to use fifty percent of his lightning intensity of what he was allowed to use. 

"Are you ready?"

Unable to wait for so long, Isona turned around as she gazed at Lucifer. Hearing her words, the others also did the same thing, only to find Lucifer's finger, pointing just a bit under his knees.
